5. Prop up your bed

Consider propping up your bed with risers. An elevated bed will give you ample storage space underneath so you can store items like seasonal clothes, shoes or other stored items below and out of sight.

This way you can have a visual of what you have. It also works great in the kitchen. Use clear containers to store food items in your cabinets and recycle the boxes the items were originally packaged in.

You can easily make your apartment appear larger by adding in a large mirror. Consider a floor to ceiling mirror or opt for something smaller and be sure to position it opposite a window. This hack can actually make your room appear to be larger.
